THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS 11 COTTON GOSSIP CLOSE,TICKLES Continued From Page 1. agreeing to postpone action on the bill until next year. The Senate also adopted the House resolution providing for a commission to investigate school book conditins in Georgia with an amendment. A resolution giving the Governor the power to act in the Ducktown copper matter was also passed, as was the bill creating a commission form oi government for Columbus. Legislative Session to End in Jollification. Happy because it has placed the taxation system of Georgia upon a business basis, the General Assembly will adjourn to-night, after 50 days of hard work. Because of the speed with which measures have been han dled and the “work-together” spirit shown by most of the members, the Legislature probably will adjourn without holding a night session on the last day. Indications are that the House will adjourn at 5 o’clock, the regular time, with all the business completed ex cept the bills that have been hell over until the next session by com mon consent. To-day only bills passed by* the Sen ate and needing action by the House to become laws w'ill be considered. It is the intention of the Rules Com mittee to place on the order for the day only such bills as can be gotten through without an extended fight. Jollification Planned. The members of the House, espe cially those successful in the fight for tax reform, are planning to close the session with a jollification and :ong- fest that will eclipse anything the House has ever done. Bob Blackburn, of Pulton County, is the big mogul of the singing, and has been training his choir for several days. “’Tis the Old-Time Religion” seems to be their favorite, and that is the one on which the choir will depend when the jollification over the close jf the session begins. Parodies on the song, ringing in such phrases as “it’s good for Speaker Burwell” and “’twould be good for the Rules Com mittee,” have been prepared, and will be sung at the final concert. The Wednesday afternoon session was taken up with the consideration of two bills—the indeterminate sen tence bill and the probation bill. Both passed the Senate. The former, on motion of Conner of Spalding, was tabled by almost unanimous vote, and is dead for the present session. It may be resurrected and considered when the Legislature meets again, but there is no chance of its passing this year. Wohlwender Fights Bill. The other bib, the probation measure, giving the trial judge au thority to nlace prisoners convicted of misdemeanors on probation, was passed after a hard fight. The bill also provides for the appointment oi county probation officers. The fight against the bills was led by Wohlwender o. Muscogee. He de clared the probation bill would work in the interests of the offender with money and influence and against tho poor man who has neither. Ai amendment offered by Miller of Bibb that the provisions of the bill should not apply unless the defendant were under 17 years of age was lost by a large vote. Pickett of Terrell County aided Wohlwender in his fight against the bill. Those who were active for the bill were Nunnally of Floyd, Blackburn of Fulton, Myrick of Chatham, Olive ;f Richmond. Culpepner of Meriwether and Wright of Floyd County. The final vote on the measure was 114 to 38. It is said a New Orleans cotton ex change seat has been sold for $2,100. It is understood the last price was $1,- 500. • * A A Texas crop reporter says Bell, Mc- Gennan, Ellis and High Counties, which last season produced 519,000 bales, will 'all short of last season by 100,000 bales. He also adds the Texas crop has de teriorated fully 10 per cent since July 25. * * * Boh Ollinger, a river planter, brought in the first bale of new crop cotton to Texarkana Tuesday. This breaks the previous record by fifteen days. * • * It is said that unless the trend of events in Mexico soon takes another and more favorable turn, cotton growers of Texas are liable to face the worst labor famine in years. • * • Pallas wires: "Texas and Oklahoma, generally clear; light rains at Houston. Texas." • * • NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map complete shows good indications for unsettled weather and more general rains for Tex as, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. Scattered showers fell in rest of the belt. Map favorable, shows cloudy over nearly all of East Texas and cloudy ovef Louisiana. South Mississippi, South Ala bama and the Carolinas. Some nice rains fell in East Texas; also nice rains fell in south central Gulf districts, and scattered showers fell In the Atlantics. Lower temperatures in both Texas and Oklahoma * * • Rainfall for the past twenty-four hours: Taylor. .58; Galveston. .56; Shreveport, raining; New' Orleans, .14; Mobile, Augusta, .06; Knoxville, .01; Chattanooga, 44; Charleston, .34; Ra leigh, N. C., .64; Houston, .02; Anniston, Ala., .04; raining at Gregory, Texas. * * * The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "Yesterday’s cotton market was easier, not so much on account of the dry weather w'est as because unfavora ble trade reports came from England. After being fed during two years on continuously optimistic advices from Liverpool, the assertion made by a prominent Liverpool merchant that ‘Manchester is dead’ must strike the rings in a vulnerable spot. "In so far as the weather is concerned, the effect is by no means one-sided. Drouth in Texas helps the bullish cause, but splendid w’eather and im proving prospects east of the Mississippi River pester the bull every day. “The fine bearish promise in the East is marred by the generally admitted fact that the crop is going backwards in Texas and Oklahoma, but here a con troversy arises. Big people claim that serious drouth exists over only a limited portion of Texas and Oklahoma, and moderate crop people claim that the crop east of the river is still small in size and late as regards normal seasons. Each denies the premise of the other. Thus common ground is lacking. Mean while, there is increasing evidence of demand as well as of requirement, in spite of the unfavorable reports from Manchester, and it is said several cot ton-laden ships will clear from Aransas Pass during August. Yesterday Hous ton reported actual cotton sales (spot and to arrive) of 3,186 bales, at ll%c for middling, while Norfolk soju 2,894 bales at ll%c, the latter a decline of %c.” COTTON MARKET NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Good cables and absence of rains over the Texas belt, except at one or two places, re sulted in the cotton market opening steady to-day and first prices ranged from 1 point off to 5 points higher than Wednesday’s final There was a little outside support, however, and the list being bolstered by buying from room shorts. This, coupled with the Government re port on supply and distribution, which placed the number of cotton bales con sumed during July at 486,246 running hales, as compared with 467,000 bales in June. The report was considered bullish, but failed to stimulate any buying of consequence and the market developed a sagging tendency after the call, based on active selling, which was encouraged by a New Orleans w’eather expert prediction of rains in the west ern belt within the next forty-eight house. Later the selling became gen eral and by noon the decline aggre gated 5 to 11 points from the initial range. After the English market had re ported better cables than expected, price movement at the close showed a decline of 2 to 3% points from the previous close. Ring traders are persistent bears on the new crop positions, but they are not heavy sellers, especially of August. Most of them seem to be waiting rains in the western belt before committing themselves to any great extent to the short side. But a w'orld of cotton will fall upon the market if rains should come in the west. One thing that pre vents any material decline in prices is that the feeling among the average trader is to the effect that the Clarke anti-option bill will be killed and that nothing along that line will be done at the present session of Congress.

While there were gains j in many sections, the country most needing it failed to get any moisture whatever. The forecast is for generaally fair and continued warm to-night and Friday in Missouri, Kansas and Ne braska. Wheat was a shade better on the strength shown abroad and the general belief that the market here was over sold. Oats were easier early, but they firmed up later. Provisions were lower.

We would look for attractive buy ing opportunities, with the intention to secure medorate profits. • * • Some profit-taking yesterday was re sponsible for the reactionary tendency at the close. I would not be surprised if the market w r as reactionary to-day, as prices have had a good advance with out any setback. Southern Pacific, which is behind the balance of the list, looks as if the pool w-ould put it higher. I am bullish for the long pull and on any reaction believe stocks are a purchase.—G D.
